The Neeley's Kansas City Baby Back Ribs Dry Rub and Cook Method

robingracejohnson's Note:

My husband and I saw this on Food Networks Down Home With the Neeley's and had to try it. I am so glad we did! It is awesome!!! The ONLY way we will make ribs anymore!!! These ribs are time consuming; it is an all day job, so make these on a day that you have 5 or 6 hours to spare! You won't be dissapointed!!!

• Total Time: 29 hrs
• Prep Time: 24 hrs
• Cook Time: 5 hrs

Ingredients:

Serves: 4

Yield: 1.0 rack of ...

• 2 cups brown sugar
• 1/2 cup dried mustard
• 1 tablespoon garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon paprika
• 1 tablespoon cayenne
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 1 tablespoon pepper
• 1 rack baby back ribs

Directions:

1. Mix all the dry rub ingredients together.
2. Rub desired amount onto a rack of baby back ribs.
3. Cover with plastic wrap and let sit in refrigerator for 24 hours before grilling.
4. Heat your charcoal grill and prepare it to use your smoker attachment. If you do not have a smoker (we don't) just situate the charcoals to one side of the grill.
5. When grill is heated and the flames go away place rack of ribs, skin side up, on the grill on the opposite side that the charcoals are on. This makes for cooking with indirect heat.
6. Cook ribs on grill for 5 or 6 hours, turning and basting with your favorite BBQ sauce (ours is Sweet Baby Rays hickory and brown sugar) every 30 minutes. Temperature of grill should be around 225 degrees.

We really enjoyed this recipe robingracejohnson. The rub is awesome. I let the meat sit overnight and baked it in the oven. It's not bbq weather here yet. The baby back ribs were succulent and extremely flavorful. I used a good quality pepper bbq sauce which worked perfectly in this recipe. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful recipe with all of us. Into my keeperbox this goes. Made for Pac 2011.
